Product Description

Accomplished second single from one of 2005Â’s most impressive new bands. The initial pressing of the debut Math and Physics Club EP Â‘Weekends AwayÂ’ sold out immediately, thanks in part to tremendous support from hip radio stations KEXP and WOXY plus a groundswell of underground buzz around the band. In reviewing the EP, venerable music publications pulled out all the punches, with All Music Guide calling it Â“a four track gem that manages to escape any charges of imitation,Â” Losing Today concluding Â“a classic all said and done,Â” Pitchfork reporting Â“sounds like The Clientele performing the first Smiths record after a Saturday night alone with Go-Betweens b-sides,Â” and Splendid hailing Math and Physics Club Â“a great new band.Â” With this new EP, the Seattle quintet proves the success of its debut was no fluke. Lead track Â‘Movie Ending RomanceÂ’ is one of those seamless summertime janglers with soaring guitars, lots of tambourines and a precise drumbeat that will put a skip in the step of indie hipsters across the globe. Â‘White and GreyÂ’ is an earnest song featuring exquisite strings, keyboards, and wailing harmonica plus some magnificently poignant vocals. Â‘Graduation DayÂ’ is a swinging pop hit with more jangling guitars, tambourine, violin, and great lyricsÂ—perfect for summertime beach parties and a possible contender as the best MAPC song to date. Closing track Â‘YouÂ’re So Good To MeÂ’ is a Pacific Northwest take on a Beach Boys classic and a mighty fine one at that. While recalling some of the best bands of yesterday, Math and Physics Club have secured a spot for themselves among todayÂ’s indie elite. Demonstrating increasingly impressive songwriting, these four new songs should help to solidify them as one of the best discoveries of 2005. The band is currently working on its debut full-length scheduled for release early next year. Limited to 2000 copies in custom minijacket sleeve.

How can I not like these guys?.......2005-10-01

OK so these guys sound just like every band I have ever loved all mixed into one band but that is the beauty within Math and Physics Club. They are able to take sounds and melodies from lots of other bands that we all know and love, wrap it all together and make it sound just like a musical place that we'd feel safe and happy to be in. If you like bands like The Smiths, The Clientele, Belle and Sebastian then these guys are for you. I purchased both of their available EP's and I love them both... can't wait for a full album to be released!

Hes a groove master with a cool blaster.......2006-12-15

I first bought this lp back in 1986 and had to travel 300 miles to london to find it, and boy was it worth it. As nile traveled and produced the best of the 80's, this solo work is a work of art trying out new skills. A few stand out tracks such as 'state your mind' and 'lets go out tonight', sung with alfa ( now a high school principal) but the high lights has to be 'Groovemaster', a funky dance tune that gets your groove going. And a track thats in my top 10. Nice to see it on normal sale, my cd was a jap import with a mass of info all in japanese. An over looked cd that desreves a fair hearing.

On His Own!.......2005-12-21

Long ago, I bought Nile's first solo record, "Adventures In The Land of the Good Groove" and loved all the songs on it. Later, I heard about his second record and the single, "Let's Go Out Tonight" but never saw the disc on the shelves at the stores.

Fast forward to 2005.

I found "B-Movie Matinee" on cdnow.com and swooped in on the opportunity to buy it! I wondered how Mr. Rodgers could possibly follow up "Adventures..." - a largely ignored record that was truly worthy of greater recognition. Unfortunately, Nile and his partner-in-crime were being celebrated more for the music they created for other artists. I only heard "Yum-Yum" (extended version with a beautiful guitar passage) once on an R&B station and somebody had to tell me about the title track. It appears the same is true for this set as well, as sad as that is.

There is some really good music on this disc. It follows the lead set by "Adventures..." with programmed drums and lots of synthesizers - only moreso.

My favorite is "State Your Mind" - a song with a strong steady beat, as if former Chic drummer Tony Thompson was holdin' it down. Nile delivers another great guitar solo on this tune. The chorus is sung with the type of deliberation that Chic used in "Give Me The Lovin". There is a timeless quality to this song - it almost could have made the cut for Chic's later CD, "Chic-ism" which was out in 1992!

The most commercially oriented cut, "Let's Go Out Tonight" features Chic vocalist Alfa Anderson. It features a touch of Japan including Japanese rap.

"Groove Master" is a synthed-out track highlighting Nile's skills on bass and guitar, while "Stay Out of the Light" takes it a step farther with a spaced-out, Twighlight Zone sound. With its chorus repeated over and over, it manages to evoke earlier Chic cuts like "So Fine" from "Take It Off", "City Lights" from "Tongue In Chic", and "You Got Some Love For Me" from "Believer".

"Wavelength", the ballad, is breezy and relaxed compared to the kinetic energy of some of the other cuts.

This CD has pretty good production quality for a disc that was released years ago. A small strip across the upper left corner announces that this is a digital recording - which was a big deal in those days. There is also the ever-present reverberation of the "Chic sound" - after all, Nile Rodgers is one of the two masterminds behind that sound!

It's a shame that this album went largely ignored; this is fun music! The contrast of synthesizers/drum machines/vocal effects against Nile's guitar makes for a unique sound that's irresistibly music to my ears!

Boy,this one was overlooked!!!.......2002-01-09

We all know that Nile rodgers is formally of the band Chic and we all know that he has produced some really Big named people in the music business and also played on a lot of famous people on their albums or should I say CD's and he also has done movie sound tracks also. Not bad for a guy that's trying to get his record label off the ground.
But how could we over look this gem of an offering that he put out in 85. Oh! I know how because, we were too busy paying too much attention with his bringing out BIG records from Madonna, David Bowie,and Diana Ross that we over looked his album?CD.
from this CD came a few hits like "Let's go out Tonight,Wavelength, and Stay out of the light" but if you really want to hear a good dance CD that has some pretty cool beats check this ont out because, If it came from nile then you know it has to be some kind of funk that will make you move.

B grade ?.......2001-01-25

Don't expect something like Chic - songs are mainly constructed with crude 80s sampling and drum machines. There are some songs with good bass lines and also rodgers' very percussive guitar technique. These are interesting but they don't make it worth the while to import the CD.
